Very strange,

I don't run any program on my finger scan device, and my bluetooth is
turned off, ut with that module loaded, I can not get anything lower
than C2.
unloading the module immediately causes the cpu to drop to C3.
I have this issue with kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25

Can there be a difference between X6# series here?
